After some testing I didn't get Fontforge to work like I wanted under Windows.
I've done the editing with FontLab Studio.
I've scaled the Arial font to match MC360 and added all Glyphs that did not exist in MC360.
This means that all the glyphs in Arial Unicode MS that are present in the MC360 font are exactly the same. All the extra glyphs are sized to have the same spacing and size.
The Arial Unicode font contains around 50000 glyphs
For supported character map see:

Cool I didn't have the Arial Unicode MS font so I frankensteined mine out of a bunch of other fonts. I know the font comes with Microsoft Office, but I don't have it and alone the font is quite costly. It looks great thanks for that.

Thank you, wouldn't have figured it out without your help Smile
You could always install the trial version of Office to get the font.

I also have problems with Croatian-Serbian-Slovenian-Bosnian ČĆŽŠĐ characters. I can edit font ttf file and make updated font files because Arial characters in AEON fonts look awful. But with every skin update it's overwriten with the original. It would nice if author of the AEON skin accept these updates to original version. Smile

Hi,

Has anyone managed to figure out how to get Unicode fonts working with Aeon MQ5. Replacing the fonts in the skin folder fixes it for movie titles but all other names like widgets and addons are still missing the correct Unicode fonts and revert back to default. If anyone has the method could you please share it?

You need to replace all the fonts with Unicode ones.

I answered in the main thread but you need to have two fonts files, aeon_common and aeon_mainmenu. If you look in the fonts folder you see that there are various "styles" of the aeon_mainmenu so if your plan is to merge unicode character ranges, select the one from the style you will be using as your "base" to merge into.

This is really a great and very helpful thread. I was looking for a way to include Arabic characters into Aeon MQ5 fonts, and following this thread plus "Rouzax"' suggestion -in his above post- to use FontLab Studio, I could do it easily.

Thank you guys for the help.

Not sure if you still need it but I changed host that is why the link was dead.
Updated my original post with the new link.
